Hmmmm, apparently in changing Amariaa/Temporiaa's name to Amara I have implicated her in some sort of grand immortal conspiracy. Cool.
You may notice a few names have been changed. For those of you more used to the old versions:
Suainn -> Sún
Gheitall -> Yétal
Cardainn -> Carding
Sceilleainn -> Skelling
Toric -> Mordicc
Galric -> Maladaticc
Amara -> Amariaa/Temporiaa
Most of the changes are to gaelicise the names, or to delatinise them in the case of Mordicc and Maladaticc. Toric is now derived from torramh, the Irish for funeral, and Galric is derived from galar, the Irish for disease. As with Ardescit, the gods have many names. I suppose I should have gone a bit Silmarillionesque and given all the names at once, but the descriptions of their portfolios were wordy enough for my tastes.
